Generally speaking, the price of Panamanian coffee belongs to the low and medium price, but its performance in the cup is often as good as that of any famous or even expensive coffee producing area. Panamanian specialty coffee is among the highest selling prices in the international market.

The BOQUETE region of Panama, located in the province of CHIRIQUI on the border with Costa Rica, is home to Panama's famous GEISHA coffee and is famous for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. The Tedman & McIntyre (TEDMAN&MACINTYRE ESTATE) estate, located in the mountain area of Poggett 4000 feet above sea level, comes from the two earliest coffee families in Panama, the Tedman family and the McIntyre family. In 1925, Canadian fruit merchant Alexander McIntyre (ALEXANDER DUNCAN MACINTYRE), infected by his brother Joseph, came to Poggett to settle down, married ANGELA ROSAS in the same year, bought an estate named "LA CAROLINA" and began to grow coffee. Their descendants still own the estate and become one of the most famous local coffee estates. Panama Coffee is grown in the western part of the country, near Costa Rica and the Pacific Ocean. The Boquet district of Chiriqui province is the most famous for its coffee, and Vocan,Santa Clara is also famous. Other areas include David, Remacimeinto, Bugaba and Tole. Only coffee grown at elevations between 1300 and 1500 meters above sea level is considered special coffee.

There are three ways of plantation: sunshine plantation, full shade plantation and semi-shade plantation. Plantations with more than 50 plants per hectare are fully shaded plantations, 25-50 plants are semi-shaded plantations, and less than 25 plants are called sunshine plantations. What is the effect of shading and shading on coffee in the plantations of the two neighbors with the same planting conditions? Shading plantations can slow down the ripening time of coffee fruits, so there are more flavor substances in coffee cherries, so shading itself increases the cost and reduces production, and its coffee flavor is higher than that of semi-shaded plantations under the same planting conditions. now most plantations in Colombia are associated with coffee trees and bananas because Arabica trees are becoming more and more dwarfed. Therefore, when the banana tree rises, it plays a shading role [flavor description]: oolong tea, peach, honey, fresh and comfortable, bright and balanced, the aroma is extremely layered, the whole aroma and caramel sweetness are wrapped together, when the entrance, the tip of the tongue feels sour, mild and round in the mouth, fruit sweet and sweet strong, like swallowing a mouthful of fresh fruit tea, sweet heart. The lower the temperature, the finer the acidity. Charm is also quite long-lasting, let people feel good satisfaction!

The Emerald Manor of Panama (La Esmeralda) is located in the corner of the Baru volcano, so the coffee beans produced in this area are mostly named after Baru Mountain, and the area around Boquete is scenic. There are many leisure hotels, villa, resort estates, and even along the important river Rio Caldera. La Esmeralda is located on the right side of the river in Jaramillo, and then grows coffee in the higher elevation area of Ca?as Verdes on the left side of the river, thanks to Rudolph Peterson's decision to buy the industry.

La Esmeralda Manor has won 12 coffee competitions so far, and the highest bidding record for three times in online open bidding is US $21 in 2004, US $50.25 in 2006 and US $130 in 2007. Of course, other countries have also raced a pound of good coffee close to $50 (Brazil's CoE champion Fazenda Santa inflows in 2005) and Guatemala CoE champion El Injerto $80.20 in 2008, but you pay attention to the time point, that is, when La Esmeralda set a record price, there was no bid to surpass her before, but she will surpass others and say she is a record creator, no fluke!
